WOMEN'S INTERESTS Women In Role Of Lions While Men Play The Lamb This the Status of the Soxes in New York us March Appears Over the Horizon With Girl Bandits Huiuiing Riot on Streets anil Men Studying Make Happy Homes By ROBERT T. SMAI.I, Cop?il?ht. 1924. by Th? Advance New York, Feb. 26. ? As the first of March appears over the horizon it looks very much as if the men of th<> United States are s;oinic out like lambs and the women are coming in like lions. All the elements of the news i hereabouts today indicate that the females of the species are becoming more and more belli gerent, while the poor males ar j endeavoring to fit themselves to li\e up to the ideals that women once had of them. mJf b" a ,b,'lat' <1 oTort on tlie pari 01 the malts. l>ut noni' tin* less it Is a Kfuulnv one. Girl bandits are runuinK riot over Greater New York. Kor a time they confined themselves to Brooklyn, the home of the perambulator and til" rubber plant. Now thev have Invaded Manhattan. While all this is going on the Brooklyn Young Men's Christian As sociation is completing its plans for ? ?VL marriage. Young men will e added to these classes and the efTort will be made to turn them out as model husbands. The curriculum has not been finally decided upon, out as things are progressing in a topsy-turvy world there is no doubt 'hat, cooking and light housekeep ing will be included as one of the masculine lessons to be learned if later marriage is to be made a sue - COBB. The young men will also iTTT taught that they must not expect every wife to be willing to assume the husband's name. The Lucy Stone League, organized by married women who Insist upon retaining their maiden names, is flourishing and gaining n->w recruits and new victories almost daily. One of the marvelous accomplishments of the league lately was winning the -right to take books out of the public li brary in one's own name instead of the name of one's husband. The next aim of the leaguers is to have the I'nited States Government abol ish the antiquated custom of requir ing a married woman to give her married nanje in taking out a pass port to go abroad. That custom is regarded by the leaguers as positive ly barbarous and some of the mem bers have refrained from visiting Kurope under the handicap of being Mr. so and so. The Lucy Stoners pulled Rome thing of a boner at llielr annual din ner Sunday night, however. In Invit ing Miss Amy Lowell, the noet 'o address them. Miss I,o?rell went to the mat with the leaguers. She told tlieni that the wish to retain their maiden names was nothing more or less than an exaggerated ego. She said a woman could take her hus band s nnme and then continue to boss him Just the same. Modern civilization, said Miss Lowell, is based upon marriage and In mar riage or any other form or partner ship there is only one thing (hat matters and that is both persons shall he trying for the same aim. The crudest blow of all. however, came when Miss Lowell, turning to her startled auditors of the lenetie said: "Don't you think that Americans spend a lot of time doing unimpor tant things?" Then she added: "If you are a strong woman you will rule your husband. If your husband is a strong man he will rule you. if you are both strong, well, the result depends upon how well you nre educated." Ruth Hale, president of the league, retorted that there were B, 000 married women In New York state alone who are using llielr maiden names, and the number is growing steadily.. The women also are trying to puzzle It out today as to whether they did or did not put it over on the men in the recent hill on eugen ics Which passed the lower branch JJ' the New Jersey legislature. The bill provides that any male persons contemplating marriage must submit himself to a medical examination and the marriage may be allowed to proceed or may be stopped or post poned according to the judgment of the learned medical men. An effort to amend the bill so that the bride, to-be Would have lo submit to a sim ilar examination was voted down The orlg nal bill was drawn and sponsored by a lady legislator. The militant feminists are regard ing the New Jersey hill as a step backward because of Its discrlmlna L"i .W I "f won'an.

"Read and Compare" The following is clipped from the last issue of the "Weekly Calendar" of the First Baptist Church: "Page three this week Is a repro duction from the Literary Digest and comes from Lion's Herald, a Methodist paper which vouches for its accuracy.

Ilut Not In America An Elizabeth City woman rending a book on Japan came to a state ment that in Japan when girla bob their hair they are announcing to the world that they are no longer on the matrimonial market. She thinks the girls on this side of tho globe ought to be warned, lest their shorn tresses be mistranslated. However. Elizabeth City maids point out that they aren't going to Japan, so why worry? Besides, they say that ev erything's topsy turvy cm that side of the world, and that on this side, the v?-ry same custom may have ex-, actly the opposite meaning.
